Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sumou Platinum Eau de Parfum

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a solid, woody-sweet take on the blue fragrance genre, while others find it a cloying, 'jammy' mess. You'll either love it as a beefed-up take on Dylan Blue or wonder if you've been sold a duff bottle.

Our Verdict - Mankind Eau de Toilette

Mankind is a cheap and cheerful crowd-pleaser for those who like a mass-appealing fresh, woody scent, but it won't impress anyone seeking originality. Many point to similarities with YSL L'Homme and Abercrombie Fierce, making it a safe choice with acceptable performance, especially for the price.
